Porta Portese Market

06.13.2010

Today I went over to Porta Portese Market for people watching and no intent buy anything.  I can’t justify the extra weight in my pack.  I took the bus a little too far and had to back track from the Piramide Metro stop.  On my way, I ended up meeting a couple from Australia who were lost.  I asked them where they were trying to go and they said, “Porta Portese Market”.  I said, “So am I!  Would you like to walk there together?”  They agreed and we walked together over to the market.  Once there, I set off on my own.  There were a lot of people at the market and it was so hot out!  I walked the entire length of the market, then somehow got lost in the flea market part.  I finally found my way out of there and went back to the hostel to chill out for the rest of the day.
